Domitia is a historical fiction novel written by S. Baring-Gould. The story is set in ancient Rome during the reign of Emperor Domitian. The protagonist of the story is Domitia, the wife of Domitian. The novel follows her life as she navigates the complexities of being a woman in a male-dominated society and her relationship with her husband. Domitia is a strong-willed woman who is not content with being just a wife and mother. She is well-educated and has a passion for politics and philosophy. She becomes a confidante to her husband and is involved in his decision-making process, much to the chagrin of the male members of the court. The novel also explores the political and social climate of ancient Rome, including the corruption and excesses of the ruling class, the struggles of the common people, and the role of women in society. Baring-Gould's writing is vivid and engaging, bringing the ancient world to life with rich descriptions of the people, places, and customs of the time. The novel is a fascinating exploration of a woman's place in history and the challenges she faced in a world dominated by men.Scarce Historical Novel By This Prolific And Versatile Author.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
